Naomh Fionnbarra clinched the Louth JFC title with a comfortable 2-20 to 0-7 win over Roche Emmets on Sunday.
Roche could find no answer to the trip of William Woods, Bernard Osborne and Jack Butterly, who between them scored 2-16 of the Togher men’s tally.
Butterly scored the opening goal on 19 minutes to help his side to a 1-8 to 0-4 lead at the break and any hope of a turnaround were ended for Roche when Gerry Murphy was sent off at the second half.
Osborne then fired the second goal to set the Barrs on the way to a comfortable 19 point victory and a first Christy Bellew Cup since 2010.
